Over at LifeHealthPro, an insurance agent (and financial planner), eviscerates populist "advisor" Dave Ramsey on the latter's arguments against permanent insurance versus term.
Highly recommended.
Two caveats:
First, I sell a decent amount of term insurance, as it does, in fact have its uses; permanent plans are no panaceas in and of themselves.
Second, I think Michael misses the real problem with the 'buy term and invest the difference" scenario: almost all the folks who buy into this end up spending the difference, not saving it.
